There seems little possibility OF ever hndlng
out the identity of the unhappy woman who
was murdered at Railway. But it is not for
lack of wOuld-be identifers. Dozens OF people
have declared that they know who she was, and
vet not one of them has proved to be right.
During the first few days after the murder the
number of anxious inquiries for missing women
excited remark Wonder at that phase OF the
case is now lost in amazement at the reckless
ness, the rapidity, and ease withwhich recogni-
lions follow one another.
The preferences of the New-Zealanders Tor

doubtless cause Postmaster General Villas no
little disgust These benighted British colon
lists actually believe that it is good thing to
have the mails travel as fast as possible, and
are willing to pay a reasonable compensation
therefor. Mr. Villas ought to send to them,
Immediately, that one of his annual reports

world and the most likely to give the COM

The city elections in New-Jersey last week,
in connection with the township elections OF
March, have encouraged Republicans and
decent citizens generally. The results indicate
in measure the deep disgust caused by the per-
formances OF the last Legislature at Trenton.
If Jerseymen are true to principles of justice
and honesty, Democratic rule at Trenton will
be impossible for long time to come, and the
Mercer and Camden frauds will never be re-
peated. The new patent ballot box will prob
ably give the ballot box suffers no little
trouble hereafter. and If its performances are
supplemented by intelligent watchfulness on
the part Of Republican election officers, an hon
est count may be secured in every district in
the State.
The effort to get law passed at Albany
which viii force the street railway companies
gradually to substitute some kind of a grOOved
rail for the present centre bearing rail is en-
tirely commendable. If the present rail had
been especially intended to crack the hubs and
strain the whole gear of carriages and other
light vehicles, 1t could not have been more
cleyery designed Any one who has ever tiled
to turn out of the way suddenly in street grid
ironed with tracks, realizes fully what a
nuisance the centre bearing rail is. 1t does not
affect carriage folk only. Heavy trucks. when
once in its grip, have sometimes to struggle for
half block before they can free themselves.
By all means let the evil be remedied-only see
70 1t that the law contains no jobs in favor OF
patenrees Or makers of any particular rail.
